6. "The asbestos issue was only forty floors of one of the towers, as I recall." You recall incorrectly

"...400 tons <of asbestos> used to fireproof and insulate piping, ceiling panels, vinyl floor tiles, elevator shafts..."

""7 million square feet of vinyl asbestos floor tiles..."

When asbestos regulations were tightened they required that the area in question be vacated, hermetically sealed, negatively pressurized, and the work done by specialized workers who had to be decontaminated upon exit from the job. Quite costly, I expect.

Please argue from the source document (or video in this case).

And please provide a link for Silverstein and the insurance issue. Thanks.
